Bayou Boogie says good-bye after 18 years


It's the end of the line for a popular yearly event that draws Canadians across the border.   The annual Bayou Boogie at the Grand Portage Lodge and Casino in Minnesota,  has been cancelled after 18 years.   It featured a wide range of  Cajun culture straight from Louisiana and was held every Labour Day weekend.   It attracted hundreds of people from Thunder Bay.  Enterprise Administrator Steven StandingCloud says the lodge was losing money on the event and decided to end its run.
